In her first State of the County address, County Executive Joanie Mahoney underscored the importance of building the county economy.  Fortunately, the sound fiscal management by outgoing County Executive Nick Pirro left a solid foundation for moving forward. Those in attendance had to be impressed with how much the new County Executive grasped so quickly.  Top of the agenda was the development of jobs, creating a Regional Airport Authority, the need to work with the city, tapping into the universities and OCC, creating a strong workforce and gaining commitment of cultural organizations to jointly tackle illiteracy.  She also didn’t forget her campaign promise to propose property tax relief for senior citizens.  All in all, it was 50 minutes of great content.
